Adidas Run Geordie Run kit

A few weeks ago I took delivery of kit from my kit sponsor Adidas. I took that kit down to local firm, customplanet.co.uk this week, for them to embroider the Run Geordie Run logo on.

2 days later and customplanet.co.uk had applied the logo to 30 or so pieces of kit. I'm really pleased with the results. That's me on the left "modelling" (and I use that word loosely!) some shorts and a hoody. I've also got tracksuits, technical t-shirts, polo shirts and some casual t-shirts and shorts in the collection.

As they did with the production of the Run Geordie Run t-shirts, customplanet.co.uk have done a cracking job. They are a local firm based at Camperdown Industiral Estate just north of Gosforth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for t-shirt printing and now logo embroidery.

I'm now looking for companies who would like to have their logo added to my kit. This kit will be worn in all future public events and media appearances. The next one being the treadmill event at the Hilton in Gateshead. I've also got some up and coming items to appear in the Evening Chronicle.

Most importantly of all, though, the kit will be worn and will be highly visible throughout the run across the USA. Given both the current and projected level of interest in the 3100 mile run, I'm confident that I can attract the right kind of companies to sponsor my kit and make a good contribution to the 2 charities.

If you are interested in sponsoring my kit then please drop me a line at sponsorship@rungeordierun.com.

RUNGEORDIERUN.COM IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH...

I'm currently on a fundraising campaign to run 20,000 miles Around The World in aid of charities in the North East of England.

Whilst not pursuing a world record, the run is following two aspects of the Guinness World Record criteria used, not in running, but in cycling for “fastest circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle”; To travel a minimum of 18,000 miles (28,968 km) and to travel through two approximate antipodal points (i.e. opposite points on the planet).

The purpose of using the criteria is to, at least, give credibility to the claim that I will “run around the world”.

The distance of my chosen route is 20,000 miles (32,189 km). The chosen antipodal points are La Coruña in Spain and Christchurch in New Zealand.

The run Around The World is split into 9 stages, some of which have been completed already:
